Determining Grow Light Position Using a PAR Meter
Determining the best position for your grow light isn’t always a simple task. Each light distributes light differently on the grow area making it difficult to know where to position the light for maximum yield. To help growers determine the right…
Monitoring PV Panels on Jin Jeop Library - Case Study
Two Apogee Instruments SP-110 Silicon-cell Pyranometers have been integrated by Daeyeon CNI as part of a PV monitoring system at the Jin Jeop library located in Namyangju city, Gyunggido, Korea. The library has a PV power generation facility on the…
High Throughput Field Phenotyping Multi-sensor System - Case Study
Apogee Instruments' SI-131 Infrared Radiometer (referred to in reference as thermal infrared radiometer, TIR) was selected to be part of a multi-sensor high throughput field phenotyping system for soybean and wheat breeding. The infrared radiometer…
Reflectance Measurements in Cotton Fields - Case Study
Dr. Glen Ritchie of the University of Georgia has used model PS-100 spectroradiometer to take reflectance measurements in cotton fields and estimate defoliation. Chlorophyll gives plant leaves a reflectance spectrum characteristically different fro…
Controlling Flowering of Orchids in Greenhouse - Case Study
Dr. Erik Runkle of Michigan State University used the SQ-313 line quantum sensor mounted on a cross bar (as shown below) in greenhouse experiments controlling the flowering of Phalaenopsis Orchids. In the experiment the SQ-313 was used to measure p…
